Is this (relatively easily?) possible in mathematica, or should I simply resort to trying to program a finite element solution to the problem? Additionally, if anyone knows of a notebook already constructed, I'd love to see it. > > Thanks! > Mike Assuming you have already set up your equations and boundary conditions, it will be easy to write them in Mathematica form, then use *NDSolve* to get a solution. See tutorial/NDSolveOverview in the documentation center for more info. (Also available online at http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/tutorial/NDSolveOverview.html) Regards, Jean-Marc
